Morbi Bridge disaster: Congress demands judicial inquiry

By A Staff Reporter : Congress demands a judicial inquiry into the incident of Morbi bridge collapse in Gujarat. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge expressed condolences to the families of the victims, saying, "I express my grief. There should be an inquiry led by a retired SC/HC judge into how the bridge collapsed 5-6 days after its inauguration and who allowed so many people there. Along with compensation to the victims. All necessary assistance should be provided.”

The Congress president added, "Congress leaders have reached there. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has also reached there. We will try to help. We are not playing politics in this and do not want to blame anyone right now."
